On March 4, 2025, fans of British neo-soul musician Michael Kiwanuka can look forward to a special evening at Halle 622 in Zurich. The tour will be accompanied by his upcoming album "Small Changes", which will be released on November 15, 2024. Kiwanuka, known for his emotional depth and fusion of soul, folk and Afrobeat, once again offers music that gets under your skin while addressing current social issues.
Michael Kiwanuka is often compared to soul legends such as Bill Withers or Marvin Gaye. This is due to his ability to combine the warmth of classic soul with the intimacy of folk. His album "Kiwanuka", released in 2019, is an example of this unique style. With deep respect for his Ugandan roots and musical influences from Afrobeat, he makes a strong statement. In his lyrics, Kiwanuka not only addresses his own experiences of pain and isolation, but also social grievances such as racism.
Kiwanuka celebrated his international breakthrough in 2016 with the single "Cold Little Heart". The heartbreaking ballad, which gained popularity primarily through its use in the soundtrack of the series "Big Little Lies", is an intense song about pain and the inability to find a way out of it.
Fans can look forward to the upcoming album "Small Changes", which will be released on November 15, 2024. It will also feature Kiwanuka's characteristic features: a mixture of soul, folk and Afro-inspired rhythms, paired with lyrical depth.
With his new music in his luggage, Michael Kiwanuka will perform at Halle 622 in Zurich on March 4, 2025.
